Wombat Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Why such GUI to spread? It flickers and disappears.I'm not understanding??? I've tested it on windows 7 and XP and it works perfectly on both. Although I have a few extra GUI style tags I need to clean up from experimenting... it certainly doesn't flicker and disappear on me.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2013 Wombat, I understand and empathize with your motives - I recently landed a new customer by showing I have at least a baseline knowledge in a language they use (GOSU). Just be careful not to oversell yourself; you don't want to present a top notch program if you don't understand what makes it so. Whatever you end up presenting, make sure you understand the mechanics (i.e. how a GUI is built, how a search for files works, etc.), rather than presenting a wall of code you cannot explain.

Good luck.That indeed would be extremely dumb lol.I've already explained to my boss that I have only basic understandings of C#, C++, VisualBasic, and now a very basic understanding of Au3. Like I posted early, after demonstrating that i understand the fundementals of coding and have a strong grasp on how software is written they will be sending me to school to further my knowledge.I'm not going to oversell because I've a daughter on the way and she needs the security this job oppurtunity can provide. I very much appreciate the consideration and the forethought to warn me though.As well, just as I had posted early, every line of code you all post teaches me. I dont just copy and paste mindlessly, I cross reference it in the help file and practice with it, breaking the code down line by line. Wouldn't do me any good to zombie-paste, I would always be coming here for simple stuff when I could learn as I go and only bother you fine people when I have a REAL problem, or offer my help to a newbie later on.

kylomas Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) It accepts user input for a folder name or drives the folder selection dialog and displays all files in that folder that meet the extention specification, then displays the files in an edit control. When you push the button to process the files it does nothing more than iterate through each file listed above. The whole thing was meant as an example of "how" to do something, it actually does nothing with the files.More pertinent to your case is that it is not a "canned" solution that will leave you lost should something break. You actually need to understand each function (which you've shown that you are willing to do).Have you tried it?kylomasedit: I'm not going to oversell because I've a daughter on the way Congrats, and good luck!!!

Wombat Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Just got time to continue coding. What I'm looking for is code that sear could flag it to search for the filename AND type as well. I believe I'll start with what careca posted and work my way down. Edit: also, is there a way to make it search the entire directory? Edited May 14, 2013 by Wombat Just look at us.Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health.

Wombat Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm not sure you need all that GUI goodness to do what you're describing (you can certainly build the GUI around it, once you learn the mechanics). I would suggest using Melba's' RecFileListToArray: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=126198. Something like this should get you started: #include <Array.au3> #include <RecFileListToArray.au3> $var = InputBox("Search Engine", "Please enter the name of the file you're looking for") $dir = FileSelectFolder("Search Engine", "C:\") Local $aArray = _RecFileListToArray($dir, $var & "*", 1, 1, 1, 2) _ArrayDisplay($aArray) This only searches "C:" and not any folders within "C:" correct?

BrewManNH Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Have you looked at the link provided to the UDF he suggested in that post? It will tell you what each parameter of _RecFileListToArray will do. In this example it will search subfolders too. Wombat 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2013 What they said ^^. This is a part of what I was saying before. I provided a short snippet as an example of how to use the UDF. If you want to realize just how powerful it is, you have to take the time to learn how it works, and why things do what they do. That drive will only serve to help you in your new career. Wombat 1 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Wombat Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I did read it, and am still. I was simply asking for information on the function of that small piece of code. Trust me, I am well aware that you all have provided more than enough information to allow for me to fish and feed myself. I am very thankful for the help. Also I marked this as solved and set the first post that mentioned the RecFileListToArray, though I cannot think of any one post as "The Best" as you all have helped me immensely!
